StrideIQ is a web application designed to analyze running form through video uploads. It provides runners with actionable feedback on their technique based on a short side-view clip of their running motion.

The tool requires specific video input: side view footage of a single runner moving consistently in one direction, with quality of 1080p or higher at 30 fps or 240 fps slow-motion. It analyzes at least 3 seconds of real-time running equivalent to 4-6 strides. Users can choose between Lite mode for faster analysis or Full mode for better accuracy.

The analysis generates form flags highlighting common issues and provides key metrics based on detected contact frames. It offers recommendations focused on running economy improvement. The current version runs entirely in the browser, keeping user videos on their device for privacy.

This tool serves as a quick sanity check for runners wanting to verify their form assumptions. It works best with steady, side-view clips captured at easy-to-tempo pace with proper framing and lighting.

The application targets runners seeking basic form feedback without professional coaching. It requires videos captured with phones fixed at hip height, with subjects filling 60-90% of frame height for optimal analysis.
